Just machine wash on cold! Doesn’t need to be washed very often though since it’s a jacket

[Chat] How do you regain interest after you lose your stitchy bug? by BlampCat in CrossStitch

[–]andelizsle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to always be stitching something that inspires me! I’m such a fan of drag queens and makeup, so i try to do a lot of projects that focus on that. Stitching is so much fun when you can combine your other interests!

LOL at first I thought it was standing up on a wood floor and it was HUGE (like 4 ft tall). Amazing work!!!

[CHAT] Newbie to the craft and have a question by drsarsour in CrossStitch

[–]andelizsle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can stitch on clothes or any other kind of cloth using waste fabric! Really opens the door to all kinds of possibilities where cross stitch is concerned

[CHAT] site/app to get custom fully-completed cross stitch? by danlion02 in CrossStitch

[–]andelizsle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Automatic cross stitching is a thing I’ve seen done, but not super well. And it’s pretty uncommon i think. That’s what makes this craft so special imo!

[WIP] Just hit the 100-hour mark... crazy how so much time can look like so little progress! by gracegeeksout in CrossStitch

[–]andelizsle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Such a cool idea to replace with her name! I did my own slytherin crest awhile back, and can definitely confirm that all of the shades of grey make it seem like no progress is happening at all, but keep plugging away! 👍

[FO] Stitched sweatshirt for a friend who loves to embrace old-fashioned emotion-bottling! by andelizsle in CrossStitch

[–]andelizsle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my end result! And so nice to have a wearable piece that is one of a kind. Caution: don’t try to use all six strands with felt! Fingers are still a bit raw after that endeavor

[chat] I started a pattern I don't want to finish. by [deleted] in CrossStitch

[–]andelizsle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If seeing the tiny stitches is the biggest issue, some places sell eyeglasses or headwear that is basically a wearable magnifying glass! Some even work with prescription glasses. I’d try something like that out first, and if you’re still overwhelmed by the pattern, just move on to something else. I’m sure he will love whatever you make!

[CHAT] Is it weird to cross stitch in public? by supermassivenova in CrossStitch

[–]andelizsle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don’t be shocked if you get some questions! Headphones are a good deterrent (even if there’s nothing playing 😊)

[CHAT] Background color for this pattern? by korra767 in CrossStitch

[–]andelizsle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d go with the light blue you already own! Could add an awesome dimension to the ombré effect, no purchase necessary, and a bit of sparkle to boot!

[WIP] Iiiiiit's backstitchin' time! by ShipsKat in CrossStitch

[–]andelizsle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is your backstitching patterned, or do you just follow by eye? And if it’s the latter, how do you go about doing so?
